The Milwaukee Sentinel gives an ab
stract of a lecture delivered before the
Sunday Lecture Society in that city, by
a Chiiirtinan.on Domestic Life in China,
which is interesting, sharp, and some
times sarcastic:
lie was dressed in a blouse and a gar
ment much iesembling a petticoat, made
of daik blue stuff. A little skull cap
and queue ornamented his head. He is
very bright and intelligent in appear
ance, and speaks English with great
fluency and accuracy. He said in brief:
The problem of Chinese immigration is
one of great importance, i remember
the stiong feeling in China against the
Christian missionary who came
amongst us. "We thought them bar
barians. 1 find the same prejudices
here against us. You have only heard
of us as the missionaries have seen lit
to tell you; you have heard but onesido
of the story. You can hardly judge us
by those of us whom you have seen,
for the better classes do not come. They
say that wo havo nu religion, and do not
treat our women well. I will teach you
better. We have the oldest government
in the world, being a nation for more
than G000 years, lie recounted the va
rious inventions and discoveries made
long ago by his countrymen, with all
of which the reader is familiar.
It is most absurd to assert that a na
tion ol 430 millions, governed for thou
sands ot yeais by law, is not religious
or not wise. There are fewer mux tiers
committed in all the Chinese nation
than in European nations of forty or
lifty millions. We believe in a great
Overruling power, and you may call it
wlmh ' ou Please. We call that power
HeaveiT, meaning immeasurably great.
Our respCu t ur t,iat- -Being is to great
that not a sii.jte peisoii in all the 430
millions would thjie llis name in vain.

your chuxches; we have them in our
temples. With you they ;ue crosses,
and water for baptism, ;uid bread and
wine; with us ihey are what you call
our idols. Jiut 30U do not woxship
these symbols and tokens, and neither
do we. They axe all but devices to
bring us into closer communion with
God; to direct our minds teward Him.
It is said that we do not lespect our
women. I must tell you that like here
there are different classes of society.
The educated do not enjoy the society
of the ignorant, and vice versa. At
least 250.00O.C00 of our people are edu
cated, reasonably. A Chinaman mar
ries a wife for a lifetime. If he gets
tired of her. or sees another he likes
better, and therefore would get rid of
the first, he can not do it This may be
because there are no lawyers thera
Laughter.
Americans and Chinamen are oppo
site in many respects. You take off
your hat for courtesy and we keep ours
on; you shake each other's hands, and
we shake our own; you drink your
wine cold and your meats hot; while
we take our meats cold and our wine
steaming hot Your magnetic needle
points north and ours south, but we can
reach the same point by sailing each
according to his own compass. We
do not educate the sexes together
The girls are sent to a private school,
and ai-e never seen studying even by
the males of their own families. The
boys are taught diTerently. Each one's
bead is examined in youth to discover
what he is best fitted for. Tf he is dis
posed to be literary he is sent to college
for twenty years: if he is fitted for the
plow he is put at it. The first thing
always taught is good conduct and good
Banners. Discourtesy to the aged is
unknown among us. Good manners is
a first requisite among us. The mis
sionaries tell us that these forms are
needless, that we need but believe in
Clrxist Why only 3,000 years ago such
confusion as this implies reigned in
China. Then Confucius came and
taught our present; code. You have but
twenty-six letters and we have 65,000.
It looks hard, but it is simple. To write
horse we make three strokes for the
mane, one for the neck, one for the
body, one for the tail, and four for the
legs. For good we have the picture of
a little boy and girl locked arms. For
the word trouble our 5,000 years of ex
perience shows us that there is nothing
w expressive as for two old women to
talk to each other, so we picture .two
mother-in-laws talking. rLaughten
And so of many words. We do not
tow ill these things fully; -we have
reyiated thm audtheyare signs for
ideas. lie who knows 10.000 of them
can read anything published in China.
The rules of pood society are very se
vere. The hardest business we have is
to eat A feast is notcomplete without
ISO kinds of n.eat We eat everything
but rats and puppies. Our birdnest
tip is very rostly, the price for the
nesting being three times its weight in
gold. Cookery is first taught to girls.
Ntxt the art of silk raising. Fanners
are most highly regarded. The Em
peror will sit down with a farmer and
not with a general. The generals who
kill the most are least thought of.
We court and marry faster than you
do. You control these matters and are
often disappointed; you make love and
many; we marry and make love. Our
parents make the arrangements for us.
If my father dies his property goes to
my mother; she dying, it falls to me
and my wife. We all live together. At
ten years a boy is asked by his father
if he likes a certain girl ; the is also
asked. If tl.ey agree, two match
makers are employod at a cost of 30.
They must be good talkei3,so women are
employed. They inquire all about both
families. Itelatlons are neve allowed
to marry. Xo earthly power can separate
a married couple. For a month before
the marriage we feast our friends and
pray for the welfare of the son who
is first married. Xo person can marry
again until three years have elapsed af
ter the death of their former partner
There are low and wicked persons who
abuse their wives, in China; the same
is true here. The missionaries associ
ate wilh these. We love our wives, and
our wives love us as sincerely as any
people on earth.
In conclusion the speaker gave the
Confucian idea of salvation, which is as
broad and all embraci ng as the most
liberal could desire. The closing por
tion of his lecture, was very eloquent
and he won great applause.
There have been a great many costly
Caucasians before audiences here this
winter, but not one of them was so in
teresting, and none of them more elo
quent than Wong Chin Foo. He is
witty, humorous, and highly entertain
ing, and his lecture gave great delight
to the audience.
Muscular Chritianity.
Tiro two great men of the Brooklyn
pulpit are splendid men physically, and
they never could have been the powers
they are, had they been otherwise.
Dr.Chapin and Robert Collycr, thouch
fine ad strong in intellectual fiber, are
not so exceptionally remarkable in that
particular as to account lor their long,
1 strong hold upon the public mind. The
two Jioston preachers who draw the
laigest crowds, Mi. Phillips Hrooks and
Mr. Murray, are men of entirely excep
tional .physique hard to be matched
anywhere in tho world, for size and
strength. It is an inspiration to look
at them. Their presence is magnetic
They exercise a charm which can only
come from complete manhood the
equipoise of thought and intent with
voice and miht If we turn to our
own city, and see where the crowds are,
we shall find them at Dr. Hall's and
Dr. Taylor's. Mr, Hepwoith's church,
too, is usually a crojvdarf one. It is no dis
honor to these men fo'say that the peo
ple do not flock to them because they
preach the best sermoto be heard in
New York. There aie a dozen pulpits
furnished with asjgooii brains as these.
The simplo truth is, jf tfcey were called
ii-ion to preach with a ijeivler physique
and a weak voice their crowds would
leave them. Thoy are lar strong,
healthy men. America does 1 ot pro
duce enough of these, and so w are
obliged to im no rt some of them. "Cue
brick Church has called a pastor fro.'u
London, and he is one of the same kind
strong enough not only to do an im
mense amount of pastoral work, but to
preach without fatigue, perform the du
ties of a professorship, take charge of
school matters in his own district, and
carry through all the side work that
comes to a man in his position. The
church went for that man simply be
cause they could not find him here. It
is no dishonor to our theological insti
tutions to go out of the country for
such men, because America does not
raise enough of them for her own use.
When we produce them in sufficient
numbers, we will not need to import
them. And when we fully comprehend
that the body has quite as much to
do with the pulpit usefulness as the
heart and mind, and that one of the first
conditions of that usefulness is high
physical vitality, we shall give physical
culture the attention that it demands
and ultimatey raise our own preachers.

When a soldier in the British army

of the fact, forwarding it, with the
soldier's application, to the lieutenant.
The lieutenant refers the matter back
to the sergeant with instructions to
ascertain how near the soldiers term
of service is out, that he may not go
trudging off home in a pair cf shoes

that the man has to serve long enough

lieutenant to the captain. Tho captain

lazily out of half-closed eyes, as if to

dissatisfied grunt, but opened his mouth.

pull proved too much for Baba's equi

his might; there was a moment of
breathless suspense, and then the keeper
again suddenly took a sitting posture,

glistened the large white molar. Baba

"It's my Fannie I my poor, cold baby,"
said Julia Deems to Ollicer Lambjof 'the
Oak Street Station, on Friday night,
Ttie ofllcer was patroling his beat
through Frankfort street and was ap
proaching Gold street, when he saw,
under the flickering lamp, a woman sit
ting on the curbstone, rocking and
caressing a bundle which she hold in
her hands. The remnant of an old
straw bonnet covered her head and the
faded ribbons fluttered in the cold
wind, while her scanty antl torn cloth
ing at times were blown aside exposing
her naked arms and neck. She shivered,
and her teeth chattered as the piercing
wind swept down the street, and then
she wept and muttured over again,
"My poor, cold darling; my poor little
baby." The officer took the bundle from
the unfortunate woman and unwrapped
it, and then discovered that the child
had frozen to death on the breast of its
.tiother.
The unfortunate mother was taken to
the Vl-ce station, and there gave her
nanitf s Julia Deems, 28 years old. She
lived at CS Cherry street. The dead
child, slltfi said, was but six months old.
She had a drunken husband who ill
treated, half starved, and abused her.
Hunger had driven Mrs. Deems into
the streets to beg. Want of food dried
up the source of nourishment for her
child. Men and women had passed and
repassed and heard her appeals, not for
herself, but her child, but no one had
heeded her supplication for charity.
"While she hugged her offspring to her
breast its sobs were quieted as it grew
chilled and cold. The sympathizing
officers vainly tried to comfort the
woman, but she sank to the floor when
her dead child was taken from her. if.

Sava ge Life in the City.
Burroughs says, in his "Touches of
Nature," that hesuspects that "after all
it makes but little difference to which
school you go, whether to the woods or
to the city. A aincere man learns pretty
much the same thing in both places."
Certainly there is a great deal of savage
life in the city. It is notorious that the
higher animal traits, as well as the
baser, show themselves in men and
women. It is often said of persons that
they remind one of a fox, or a lion, or a
doniey, or a hen with one chicken. "We
have heard a certain young man's con
versational habit happily described by
aomparisoai with a hare. "At first he
peeps out of the brush, looks around,
gets scared, and runs back. Then he
peeps forth again, and as quickly dis
appears. By and by he runs out and
f risics around with perfect confidence.""
Boyesensays that Tourguenfi! makes
yon think of a splendid horse. Emer
son's side-fac certainly reminds you of
an eagle; and in public speaking his
sharp sentences come from hia in such
a way that one might say that he strikes
with his beak. Picture a countenance
which combines the ferret's sharpness
and persistency with the dignity and
charm of genius, and you will have in
your mind's eye a face like EssipoiTs.

A Detroiter, who had been married
but three months, was the other day
tossing over the things in his wife's
sewing basket, when he came across a
little roll of newspaper articles about
Laura de Fair and Irene House.
"How did you come by these?" he
asked, as his wife entered the room.
"Those? Why, I took great pains to
cut them out and preserve them," was
the reply.
"But how can you take an interest in
reading of such women, one of whom
shot a friend and the other a husband V"
"Oh, I merely cu. them out," was the
evasive reply.
